Less leather gear, more wicker basket

Supposedly, trying something new every once in a while is a good thing. With that in mind, I am visiting a motorcycle class this week and next. I don't really care about owning a bike and vrooming around by myself on way too much horse power tightly packed under my buttocks. But, learning a new skill never hurts, and it will probably make me a better passenger on the Mister's Harley. And I'm pretty sure that the learnings will translate beautifully into riding a scooter—and that idea I'm just completely in love with. Zipping over to the farmers market in style? Renting a Vespa on vacation to explore the area? Yes, please.
